The shape of the molecule with two atoms bonded to a third central atom with no lone pairs on the central atom is Linear.
Hence the correct option is (A)- linear
As given, the central atom has no lone pairs and two atoms bonded to the central atom.
Therefore the shape of the molecule is linear.
For example, let's take the example of CO₂. Here, the central atom is C and has four valence electrons. C uses 1 pair o electrons to form a double bond with each atom of O. Hence, C uses a total of 4 electrons to form a double bond with the O atom. No lone pair is left with carbon to create distortion in the molecule.
Therefore, the shape of the molecule will be linear.
So, the correct option is A.
